I took these pictures at a Taiwanese zoo with my high school friends half a year ago.
Actually, I don't really like to go to zoos because as you can see from these pictures, they don't seem happy at all. I prefer a wild place over a place that uses cages to keep animals from escaping.
However, it is a good place for beginners to practice photography. They don't run away because they don't have too much room to move around...; {
So that's why I was there.
I used to spend a lot of time at this zoo taking photos for assignments with film camera, when I was 17 years old. I used to like zoos and going to the zoo because I was naive enough to believe that zoos will take good care of animals.
Apparently, they don't. and they won't.
So that's why I don't like it there. :{
Of course, zoos are a good place to go with children and a good place to allow children to learn about different animals.
Ok, no more talking. Time for photos now. ; ] Enjoy.
The 6 pictures above were taken with fake manual zoom which means I used PS to blow these images up, so you can tell the quality is not so good.
They were too far away from me so my 50-150mm lens wouldn't work this time. Well, it doesn't work a lot of the time, but it's still good to have it. : ]
This is a cheap way to have a nice and close-up pic, but it's also a "cheat" way to get a pretty shot. But I think for poor people it is Ok, lol... ; )
Double-crested basilisk
They're really cute, aren't they? ;'') their lips make me want to kiss them.
Taiwan Bamboo Viper
It is a snake specimen. These kind of snakes are (were) very common to see around in the mountains of Taiwan. I hope it is still easy to see them now....
